Answer 1

When the school was built.. 1950's it was the most Southern university in the State university system.... UWF is in Pensecola... UCF in Orlando... UNF in Jax... U of Tampa a private school...


maybe a name like University of West Central Florida would have been more geographically correct but in the 1950' there was Miami and then the "rest of Florida"

here is a link to the story about the history of the university of south florida how it got its name and so forth
http://usfweb2.usf.edu/history/allen_legacy.html
"Governor Collins had a very intense interest in the university," says Allen. "He caught the vision of what could be here. He agreed, for instance, on the name the University of South Florida. We were anxious to have a name to indicate we were a true university. That we were not just a liberal arts college. So Governor Collins agreed to that. And the color of the buildings. It was decided we should have buildings that would look like south Florida. I remember one member of the Board of Control said, 'Oh no, you can't have a university without red bricks.' And Collins said, 'Oh no, we aren't going to have that. We're going to make it look Southern.' He and John got along just beautifully. They seemed to understand each other."

Maybe they don't have a Geography department?
